In this new spot, watch as our heroes take their rivalry to the next level. Star Wars fans will notice iconic motifs like the Death Star, the Battle of Hoth, and many more. Watch the spot, pre-order Star Wars Battlefront II for PlayStation 4, and prepare to settle the score with your greatest rivals.

Enjoy our new video, and let us know in the comments which side you’ll be fighting for. May the Force be with you!

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/09/25/whats-in-store-for-2017/#commentsMon, 25 Sep 2017 15:00:37 +0000https://blog.us.playstation.com/?p=194883Last year, PlayStation Store turned 10! We celebrated with a video that introduced an iconic Merchant, the embodiment of the magic and mystery of PlayStation Store. I know that the Merchant has become a bit of a fan favorite among the PlayStation community, so today, I’m delighted to announce that our friend returns in a powerful new chapter that you can watch at the top of this post.

Watch our new spot as the Merchant descends deeper into the Store, passing through different worlds within some of PS4’s biggest upcoming games: Call of Duty WWII, God of War, and Star Wars Battlefront II, just to name a few.

PlayStation Store has come a long way, but this is just the beginning. This year we’ve introduced the popular new Discover the Creators series, which curates games selected by some of the biggest names in game development, from Yoko Taro (Nier: Automata) to Herman Hulst (Horizon: Zero Dawn) and more.

And of course, PlayStation Store continues to boast special features like preorder and preloading, which accelerates your ability to get closer to the games you love.

Enjoy our new video and let us know what you think! And keep an eye peeled for Easter Eggs – there are quite a few to be found!

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/05/02/first-look-at-farpoint-tv-spot/#commentsTue, 02 May 2017 12:00:19 +0000https://blog.us.playstation.com/?p=190781The May 16 launch of Farpoint is quickly approaching, and we wanted to give you a preview of a new TV spot set to air nationwide this week. This is the latest spot in our “Two Worlds” campaign for PlayStation VR. As the name implies, this campaign brings together the real world and incredible gaming worlds — putting the player directly into the experience.

If you’ve tried PlayStation VR, then you know how it can quickly transport you to another world. In the case of Farpoint, that means sending you to a distant planet filled with nasty space bugs (including giant spiders).

PlayStation VR has been in high demand since launch, and we have heard from many of you that it has been a bit tricky to find on store shelves. We’ve been working to meet demand and are happy to report that PS VR is back in stock at many retailers in the U.S. and Canada. If you’ve been thinking about picking up a system, now is a great time to jump in. The library of PlayStation VR content continues to grow. Take a look at the list below for some of the exciting VR games on the horizon, and be sure to let us know what you think of the new spot!

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/11/13/the-future-of-gaming-lives-on-playstation/#commentsSun, 13 Nov 2016 18:45:02 +0000https://blog.us.playstation.com/?p=185641This has been a momentous year for PlayStation, and we’re excited to offer gamers more ways than ever to join the PlayStation family. Whether you are already a PlayStation gamer or opt for the great value of the new, slim PS4 at $299 ($379.99 CAD), PS4 Pro, or PlayStation VR, you have endless opportunities to experience the amazing games, entertainment features and vibrant community that make PlayStation the best place to play.

As we look ahead to the future, we want to celebrate all of you—the gamers—who have helped us build this vibrant community.

Gamers are at the heart of everything we do, and our new campaign focuses on one of the things we love most: adventure. Starting with the original PlayStation more than 20 years ago, we’ve always strived to bring innovative ideas and exciting new adventures to our fans.

In the near future, we’ll journey with you through the lush, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon: Zero Dawn, seek solitude in the unfamiliar lands of Norse mythology in God of War, and swing through the streets of Manhattan with Spider-Man.

Wherever your next adventure takes you, we’re excited to share in your triumphs and continue to make PlayStation the best place to play.

It’s hard to believe this month marks 10 years since we launched PlayStation 3. Throughout the past decade, we were introduced to some of the most beloved characters in the PlayStation family—from Nathan Drake and Sackboy to Joel and Ellie. PS3 was a landmark console for a host of reasons, one of them being the introduction of PlayStation Network and PlayStation Store.

Thanks to your continued feedback and support, PlayStation Store has grown into the premier destination for gaming and entertainment content. We continue to expand the platform with features you’ve requested—including pre-load and day-one play, and exclusive digital events like Launch Party and PLAY—to help amplify your gaming experience.

With thousands of games, movies and TV shows, PlayStation Store is ready when you are—whether you’re on your console, desktop or mobile device.

To celebrate, we’re excited to announce the two-week “PlayStation Store 10th Anniversary Sale,” featuring some of the biggest hits from the past 10 years. We are also excited to share a new, extended version of a short film promoting PlayStation Store, where we’ve hidden Easter eggs especially for PlayStation fans—can you spot them all?

To recognize and acknowledge those who have been with PlayStation Network from the very beginning, members with accounts of 9.5 years or more will receive an exclusive PS4 avatar. Details will be sent to those eligible via email.

Additionally, there is a special edition 10th Anniversary PS3 and PS4 theme for all. Download here: PS4, PS3.

As we continue our journey with you, we are committed to making PlayStation Store the best place to find anything you want to play. All the entertainment. All the adventure. Always open!

Thank you for all of your support, and cheers to the next 10 years!

There will be more than 25 titles launching with PS VR this month, including heavy hitters like Batman: Arkham VR from Rocksteady Studios, PlayStation VR Worlds from our own Worldwide Studios, and Rigs Mechanized Combat League from Guerrilla Games.

Among the holiday lineup is one of the most incredible gaming experiences ever conceived — the opportunity to battle against the evil Empire in an X-wing fighter in VR. Thanks to the talented teams at Dice, Criterion and Lucasfilm, Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: X-wing VR Mission will give PS VR owners a chance to experience something we’ve all dreamed about. This experience will be free for all PS4 owners of last year’s fan-favorite shooter Star Wars Battlefront when it launches on PS VR this holiday.

An iconic experience like this is worth bragging about, so I’d like to give you a preview of our new TV spot — one of several in the works — that celebrates the launch of PlayStation VR in style. PlayStation VR has to be tried to be believed, but we know how it feels to be transported into our favorite gaming experiences and we think this captures that emotion perfectly.

If you can’t wait until October 13 to experience PlayStation VR, many local retailers are offering hands-on demos of experiences such as Batman: Arkham VR, Harmonix Music VR or Thumper now. Let us know what you think of our new spot!

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/08/23/playstation-now-coming-to-pc-dualshock-4-usb-wireless-adaptor-unveiled/#commentsTue, 23 Aug 2016 18:00:31 +0000https://blog.us.playstation.com/?p=180755We’re excited to announce that PlayStation Now is making the jump to Windows PC. The app launches overseas in parts of Europe soon and will come to North America shortly thereafter.

This will bring a wide selection of PlayStation exclusive titles to Windows PC for the very first time, including entries in the Uncharted, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank franchises, as well as beloved PS3 games like The Last of Us and Journey. Current subscribers have a new way to access PS Now’s library of over 400 games, and the PC app provides a new way for even more gamers to discover and play the service.

We’re also introducing a new device, the DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor, which launches in early September for a suggested retail price of $24.99 ($29.99 CAD). This adaptor will let you connect a DualShock 4 to PC and Mac wirelessly, and will enable every feature of the controller you know and love: buttons, analog sticks, touch pad, light bar, motion sensors, vibration, and stereo headset jack – as long as the gaming application supports these features.

The adaptor is a great match for playing PS Now on a computer, but you can also use it for PS4 Remote Play on PC and Mac. If you haven’t yet downloaded Remote Play on your PC or Mac, grab the installer here. Of course, owning the USB Wireless Adaptor isn’t required, as you can connect a DualShock 4 using a USB cable.

Here are the recommended specs for running PS Now on your PC:

Windows 7 (SP1), 8.1 or 10

3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10 or faster

300 MB or more; 2 GB or more of RAM

Sound card; USB port

A minimum 5Mbps connection is required to use PS Now on any device. We recommend a wired Internet connection for the optimal experience.
We’ll be in touch to confirm the exact launch date of the PlayStation Now Windows PC app in North America, and stay tuned for some exciting games that will be added to the library.

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/03/14/playstation-vue-goes-nationwide-starting-at-29-99-in-new-markets/#commentsMon, 14 Mar 2016 15:31:07 +0000https://blog.us.playstation.com/?p=170781Many of you have been patiently waiting for PlayStation Vue to come to your city, and today we’re pleased to announce that PlayStation Vue is making its nationwide debut. We’re expanding the service to the rest of the U.S. to give our fans a better way to watch popular live and on-demand TV from top networks like AMC, ESPN, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, and more, using PlayStation Vue’s unique streaming features.

We’re kicking off this launch with our new Slim multi-channel plans that are available in the 203 newly launched markets. Here are the prices for these new plans — all are offered with a free seven-day trial.

Access Slim: 55+ channels, including live cable TV, movies, and sports channels for $29.99 per month.

Core Slim: 70+ channels, including all the channels from Access Slim with the addition of national and regional sports networks for $34.99 per month.

Elite Slim: 100+ channels, featuring all the channels from Core Slim with the addition of more top movie and entertainment channels for $44.99 per month.

With an Internet connection and a PlayStation Vue TV-connected device, there are no hidden fees or long-term contracts for PlayStation Vue.

Some of you may be wondering, what’s the difference between Slim and our standard multi-channel plans available in previously launched cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, and Miami)? Slim plans are only available in the newly launched markets and will offer all of the same live cable channels as the standard PlayStation Vue plans. However, ABC, FOX and NBC will offer video-on-demand (VOD)-only content. This means you’ll be able to access top network content, including primetime shows, from the three broadcast networks. Most on-demand content will be available within 24 hours after airing. CBS live and on-demand programming will also be added to select cities at a later date.

We’re working to add local broadcast stations to your city, which will add live, local programing to the channel lineup. You can find more information on plans in your city here: www.psvue.com

Users can take advantage of PlayStation Vue’s unique TV streaming features, including the following:

Cloud DVR — PlayStation Vue’s unmatched cloud DVR allows users to record hundreds of shows at once and store thousands of hours of content.

Powerful Interface — this seamlessly blends live and on-demand content to put top programming front and center, with innovative search and discovery tools. You can also “catch up” on many popular programming within the past three days from a show’s first live airing.

In addition, users can also access programming from more than 60 network mobile apps or websites, simply by logging in with their PlayStation Network ID. The mobile apps and websites are developed by network programmers and are a separate offering from PlayStation Vue, but can be used at no additional cost.

Users can access PlayStation Vue through PS4, PS3, Amazon Fire TV, and Fire TV Stick, as well as iPad and iPhone through the PlayStation Vue mobile app. Google Chromecast is also supported via compatible iOS devices.

We’re excited about this expansion, and can’t wait to share more news about our future plans for PlayStation Vue.

The wait is over — starting today, PlayStation Vue gets a big boost in live sports, family, and primetime TV programming with the arrival of Disney and ESPN Media Networks. This adds popular channels fans have been waiting for, including ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, Disney Channel, and more.

On top of that, we’re reducing the price of all PlayStation Vue multi-channel plans by $10. New subscribers get the pricing immediately along with a seven-day free trial. Current subscribers will see this reduced pricing reflected in their next billing cycle. Below are the monthly promotional prices.

Core: 75+ channels – includes all the channels in Access with the addition of regional sports networks, available for $44.99

Elite: 100+ channels – features all the channels in Access and Core, with the addition of more sports channels, top movie and entertainment networks, available for $54.99
